Can't remove my old podcast from store

I’m in a strange situation, I hope someone can help.
My organisation in the UK (RNIB) has a few podcasts listed in the iTunes store which I have uploaded recently and they are up to date.
But I can also see “The RNIB Podcast” in the listings, which is from a few years ago and hasn’t been updated in a long time. We’ve launched a new website in that time and there’s been plenty of staff changes so no one knows where this RSS file is saved and where these podcast episodes are being pulled from.
The individual episodes from this podcast are available to be downloaded, but when I click on the podcast name I get a message saying it’s not available in the UK store. So I can’t get to the page for the podcast in order to click on the “report a concern” link and ask for it to be removed.
Also, I thought iTunes would stop listing podcasts that haven’t been updated in a long time, but this one still persists.
I’ve been round and round with iTunes store support and basically ended up with the answer that it’s too technical and they can’t help.
Does anyone know how I can fix this, or how I can find where the RSS file is so I can try and delete it from the source, presumably somewhere on our servers.
Thanks for your help with this confusing problem!

Although searching doesn't bring up that podcast, only five others with longer titles, there are a few episodes listed as being from it. The one I tried played. and I was able to find the URL of the feed it had originally belonged to:
http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/code/public_podcastRSS.hcs p
However there is no file at that address so I can't go any further. The episode media files do still exist, or the Store wouldn't play them, but there's no way I can detect where they are. If you can find them and delete them then they may still appear in that list for a time but won't play, and possibly will remove themselves eventually.
Apparently the server the feed was on is no longer being used by you. Do you still have access to it? If you can upload any feed (it needn't have any episodes) to that URL and include in the top section this tag:
<itunes:block>yes</itunes:block>
then it may remove the episodes. Otherwise there isn't really anything else you can do.

  • When I update apps on my iphone, sometimes my current email comes up as my apple id, and sometimes my old email comes up as my apple id. How can I remove my old email from my account?

    When I try to update apps on my iPhone, sometimes my apple ID is shown as my current email, and sometimes my old email comes up. How can I delete the old email from my account?

    I just delete the old app and repurchase the app again? They are all free apps.
    That's what I'd do, since they are all free apps. Be sure & delete in iTunes as well as on your phone. When prompted in iTunes, move all files to trash & empty your trash. You don't want any trace of them left.

  • Can't remove some nonexistent podcasts from my library.

    I have a small problem, I have four podcasts to which I'm no longer subscribed. The problem is, I can't take them out of my library. I made a smart playlist to find them, but since they don't come up under 'Music' I'm unable to delete them.
    I don't have a recent backup of my iTunes Directory, is there any way to remove these renegade podcasts?

    Since I discovered my own solution, I will document it here:
    1. Copied the Original Backup files from my first TM backup set into their original folders using Finder
    2. Used spotlight to find these files in the folder
    3. Start TM and it can find this folder then right click and "Delete All Backups..." of the folder and TM actually deletes the folders from the backup set, hardlinks etc. through the following backups....
    4. Exit TM and trash/delete the duplicate I created from the backup set

  • How can I remove my old iPad from Icloud!

    The problem is I've sold my ipad2 and that iPad was used by my account! But now this is not belong to me anymore, how can I remove the iPad from my account! When she opens ICloud , I can see her photo via photo stream! That makes me in trouble! Plsssss help me!

    You should've deleted your iCloud account from the iPad BEFORE you sold it.
    Now the new owner is using your iCloud account, and can access your email, contacts and calendars too.
    Contact the buyer and ask them to sign up for their own iCloud account and use that instead.
    If you can't contact the buyer, change the password for your iCloud account so they can't use it anymore.

  • Can't remove an old site from inline autocomplete

    At least one old address still shows in inline autocomplete, despite deleting all bookmarks, history, etc. tickboxes for "Everything" dates. It doesn't show in the dropdown addresses either. I would still like to use autocomplete from history and bookmarks from now on, I'd just like to "flush" all old addresses. I've disabled all addons. I do still find the address in some of the support files, i.e., cache.js, cookies.sqlite, places.sqlite, sessionstore.js. Are thosefiles not cleaned by deleting bookmarks/history/etc. ? TY

    Besides removing your Browsing history (stored in the '''places.sqlite''' file) you can also try removing your '''Form & Search History''', stored in the '''formhistory.sqlite''' file, if clearing those items from the [[Clear Recent History|Clear Recent History]] "Everything" dates doesn't work. Related KB articles:
    *[[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]]
    *[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    If you've tried removing the '''places.sqlite''' and '''formhistory.sqlite''' files from the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] ( by deleting, moving, or renaming those files with Firefox closed) and the problem remains, you could try the ''[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|Reset Firefox]]'' feature as a last resort.

  • I can't remove an unchecked podcast from my iphone

    Hello all,
    I have my iTunes set to only sync checked Podcasts, but for some reason, some of my Podcasts are not being removed from my iPhone, even though I uncheck them on iTunes.  Yes, I can swipe aqnd delete them manually on my iPhone, but before the software update, I was able to uncheck a Podcast, and it would automatically be removed from my iPhone, without me having to swipe it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I think this problem occurs when you download podcasts onto your iPhone from the web, not via iTunes. I too had a bunch of podcasts that would stay on my iPhone after I'd listened to them. I tried upping the play count, deleting them in iTunes, even unsubscribing from the podcast, but they still stayed on the iPhone.
    Anyway, eventually I tried swiping across them (like you do for email), and the Delete button appeared. So I deleted them manually directly on the iPhone, and finally got rid of them.
    I guess this has arisen thanks to iCloud and you not needing to have a computer anymore to manage podcasts, etc. But still, you'd think the options you set in iTunes would be applied globally to all your podcasts, no matter how they got onto your iPhone.

  • I can't remove my old devices from iCloud

    Hello,
    Apple start new feature on iCloud.com same like in iOS named SETTINGS. In "My Device" section I see all my apple device, but I found that I had seen my old macbook and my old iPhone 5s (see the screenshot). When I sold my old device I made factory reset and remove before that from "Find My Device". Any idea how I can remove them forever.
    Thanks!

    I'd wait a while.  A number of people have complained about this and I suspect Apple will find a way to remove them (such as by removing them automatically after a certain period of inactivity).

  • How can I remove my old apple id from iTunes and put the new one in?

    Morning all, how can I remove my old apple Id from my I tunes account and replace it with the new apple ID, ?
    Many thanks
    Kimber. Lee

    Sign out of iTunes and sign in with the new ID. On your computer, under on of the iTunes menus, on your iPad Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap on the Apple ID.
    Note that all apps downloaded under the previous ID are locked to that ID, and you will have to sign back onto it for any updates.

  • How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function

    How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function.
    I purchased my Mac used.  The former owners username prepopulates when I try to perform the updated function on the app store.  It does not allow me to use a different user name.    I have created my own username and password.  I have even been able to purchase items from the app store, it's just when I use the update function it does populate with my username.  Any help is appreciated.

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

    I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system.  How can I do so by year rather than slowly removing one message at a time?  Many thanks.

    Another option is to create a smart mailbox that includes emails with date received before a desired date.
    Then, select one message in the Smart Mailbox and cmd-A to select all. Then delete.
